[arch-general] kscreensaver + electricsheep
by Edgar Kalkowski 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi, I have used electricsheep with kscreensaver for some time now but recently (after upgrade to 4.3) I changed to a different one for a change and wanted to go back to electricsheep today. But I see that it is missing in systemsettings. I checked and the file /usr/share/kde4/services/ScreenSavers/electricsheep.desktop is in place as installed from the electricsheep package. Has something changed in kscreensaver in 4.3 and thus perhaps the .desktop file is outdated? Or am I missing something else? Edgar

Got a response from Slice: The following kernels are available for your slice to upgrade. Please let us know and we can take care of that for you. 2.6.24 - 23.48 2.6.24 - 24.55 I believe these should be Ubuntu kernel versions; I'm seeing right now what they actually include as it might include a fully working signalfd(). If anyone wants to contact some other providers (especially if you are already using their services) and post the response here, that would be cool. -Dan

[arch-general] kde4 Help system error - Arch or KDE error?
by David C. Rankin 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Listmates, I got a strange error when selecting help inside konqueror settings. the error was: "The file or folder help:/ does not exist." (screenshot 63k) http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/kde4/kde-help-index.jpeg Is this an Arch or kde issue? (my guess is kde, but I thought I would ask) Also, can anyone confirm this? Go to konqueror -> Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Management -> General and then click on the "Help" button and let me know if you get the error. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Xorg broken after last update
by Luís Moreira 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Hello. The last update broke my Xorg, the screen just goesn black and hangs there, CTRL+ALT+F1 (etc) doesn't do anything. I'm using X86_64, *without* [testing]. The updated packages were kernel26 nvidia xorg-server (and some others, less important) If I change the driver in xorg.conf from nvidia to vesa X works again. Anyone experienced the same thing? Best regards, Luís Moreira.

[arch-general] Firefox and ALSA - Blocks other applications from using ALSA
by Samuel Baldwin 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 3.5, every time I pause my music in mpd I can't start it again so long as firefox is still running. I have to kill firefox (literally kill; I tell it to quit, but the process never dies, so I have to kill it by hand) to be able to play music again. Sometimes I'd have this happen if I had a flash video with sound open or something in earlier versions, but now it happens even if I don't have any pages with flash open. Any idea how I should get around this? -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li
